VMware cloning Centos6.4 virtual machine NIC does not start problem

Quickly create a Linux virtual machine version of CentOS 6.4 with Vmware8 's full cloning capabilities.

Post-creation symptoms: Use ifconfig after startup, discover no IP address, only the loopback address is 127.0.0.1,
The MAC address and host name are the same as the source host (the source host is manually configured IP).
Any execution of the following commands is useless anyway:
/etc/init.d/network restart
Ifup eth0

Workaround:
1. Edit the eth0 configuration file: Vi/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, delete the hwaddr address the line and UUID lines are as follows:
hwaddr=00:0c:29:08:28:9f
Uuid=cee39dbb-6a10-4425-9daf-768b6e79a9c9
Tip: Of course you can also modify the actual hwaddr and UUID without deleting it. See
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

eth0 after the network card file is modified:
[Email protected] ~]# Cat/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Device=eth0
Type=ethernet
Onboot=yes
Nm_controlled=yes
Bootproto=none
ipaddr=10.0.0.27
netmask=255.255.255.0
dns2=8.8.8.8
gateway=10.0.0.254
dns1=10.0.0.254
Ipv6init=no
Userctl=no

2. If necessary, empty the following files:
>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Hint: The machine name can not be changed

3. reboot The system: Reboot or reboot outside the VM.

4. reason guessing: VM Cloning is a protection policy to protect the source machine and clone machine from initiating network configuration address conflicts.
